CAUTION  
People with implanted pacemakers  
or cardiac defibrillators should keep  
away from the smart entry and start  
system antennas, because the radio  
waves may affect the operation of  
such devices. For the antenna loca-  
tions, see “ANTENNA LOCATIONS”  
on page 26.  
Users of any electrical medical de-  
vice other than implanted pacemak-  
ers and implanted cardiac defibrilla-  
tors should consult the manufactur-  
er of the device for information  
about its operation under the influ-  
ence of radio waves. Radio waves  
could have unexpected effects on  
the operation of such medical de-  
vices.

hicles equipped with smart entry and

one of them to make a new key with  
a builtin transponder chip. Before you  
use these keys, be sure to read “Smart  
entry and start system” on page 24.  
USING A MECHANICAL KEY  
When you use the mechanical key in-  
cluded on the side of the key, slide the  
lock knob in the arrow direction and take  
out the key as shown. To put the key  
back, slide the lock knob in the arrow  
direction and replace the key. Be sure to  
put the key back when not in use.  
If necessary, the smart function can  
be disabled. See “DEACTIVATING  
THE SMART FUNCTION” on page  
34.

(Vehicles not equipped with smart entry  
and start system)—These keys work in  
every lock. Your Toyota dealer will
